    मृत्युः सर्वहरश्चाहमुद्भवश्च भविष्यताम् । कीर्तिः श्रीर्वाक्च नारीणां स्मृतिर्मेधा धृतिः क्षमा ॥

    mṛtyuḥ sarvaharaścāham-udbhavaśca bhaviṣyatām | kīrtiḥ śrīr-vāk-ca nārīṇāṃ smṛtir-medhā dhṛtiḥ kṣamā ||

    I am all-seizing death, and the source of all that is yet to be. Among the feminine qualities I am fame, fortune, speech, memory, wisdom, steadfastness, and forgiveness.
